Irresistible, Part 1

Kellie smoothed her hand over her lavender shift dress. She smiled broadly at her reflection in her vanity mirror, tucking a strand of her midnight hair behind her ear, her hair being held back by a silver clip. She leaned forward a little and checked her makeup again. "Not like he says I need it," she said, smiling again. She closed her eyes and thought of David. "I wonder where he's taking me to dinner at?" she asked herself. "Tomorrow is his birthday."

******************************************************************************

David paced back and forth across the kitchen floor. "Should I do this? Or should I not do this? Is it too soon?"

"Well for one, you can stop pacing," Jonathon said as he slammed the fridge door, pulling out a gallon of vanilla ice cream and a can of whipped cream.

David stopped pacing and turned to glare at his older brother. "You know, you're starting to act like Randy and mom when they're upset by eating ice cream."

Jonathon shot his brother a rude gesture.

David stuck his tongue out at him.

"Boy you two sure are mature," Randy said as she ran down the steps with Donavon following. She snatched the ice cream away from Jonathon. "You're going to finish it."

Jonathon glared at her and took the can of whipped cream with him into the family room.

Randy snorted in disdain and scooped out the vanilla into a bowl. "So, what are you so jumpy for?" she asked as she looked up at David.

"No reason," David replied as he absently tugged on the collar of his white dress shirt.

"You're all dressed up and wearing a tie. Going out somewhere?" she asked again as she swatted Donavon's spoon away with her own.

"Taking Kellie out to dinner," he replied as he checked his pocket.

"Oooh, what restaurant?" Randy asked, leaning on the counter, licking her spoon.

"Le Belle," David replied as he glanced over at her. "Don't you have anything better to do then to ask me questions?"

"No," Randy replied, smirking.

"She's your girlfriend, so do something?" asked David as he looked over at Donavon, who was still trying to get a spoonful of ice cream, but his spoon was getting swatted away by hers.

"Like she does what I want her to," Donavon said as he successfully yanked the bowl away from her. He put it behind his back with a teasing grin on his face.

"Hey give that back," Randy protested as she tried to reach for it.

"You have to get from me before you can have it," he replied.

David rolled his eyes.

"Will you guys shut up!" Jonathon yelled from the family room.

David sighed. "Good God, you think he would be getting used to being without Leigh by now. And all it did was make his temper even shorter then before."

"I heard that!"

"Well anyway, I have to go," David said as he glanced at his watch. "Tell mom and dad I'll be out late and I'll have my phone with me. But please try not to call."

"Ok, whatever you say," Randy said as she made a grab for the bowl only to have it lifted out of her reach by Donavon.

"Have a good time," Donavon said as he held the bowl up over his head, taunting Randy with it.

"Thanks," David said as he grabbed his keys and went out the back door. He climbed into his Jeep Cherokee Sport and leaned his head back against the seat. "I hope I can do this," he said to himself and pulled out.

Kellie dabbed a little perfume behind each ear before sitting the crystal bottle back down on the glass table. She turned and observed her appearance again. "Perfect. I know he'll just love it," she said as she adjusted the thin spaghetti straps a little.

******************************************************************************

David pulled through the high arched gate of the Merquise/Yuy driveway. The gates had a key entry and there were security cameras. "Heero probably doesn't want my sister to show him up again when it comes to breaking security," he sighed as he pulled up in front of the mansion. He jumped out and walked up the front steps. He waited for Williamson, the butler to open the door. "Evening, is Kellie ready?"

"I'll go and see," said Williamson as he turned on his heel and started down the hall towards the steps.

"Hey David," said Zach as he walked through the hall. "You waiting for Kel?"

"Yeah, Williamson said he go get her," David replied as he straightened his tie again.

"That'll take too long," Zach said as he turned and faced the steps. "KELLIE, DAVID IS HERE!" he yelled.

"What is it with you Merquises, do you have to be so loud?" asked Quatrina as she came out the family room towards the back of the house. She propped her hand on her hips.

"Sorry," said Zach, sheepishly as he went over and gave his girlfriend a kiss.

Quatrina snorted and rolled her eyes at him.

Kellie heard her brother's yell and she turned on her heel, grabbing her an amethyst cashmere sweater from her four poster bed, and ran out of her room and down the hall. "Coming," she called back as she trotted down the steps. She spotted him and immediately threw herself into his arms. "Hello there."

David smiled and gave her a light kiss on the lips. "You look lovely as always."

"I do it just for you," she replied as she leaned up and kissed him again, wrapping her arms around his neck.

He returned the kiss, his hands coming to rest on her slender hips.

"Do you have to do that in the front hall?" Zechs asked as he leaned against the study door. He gave his daughter and her boyfriend a steady look. "Or can you at least wait until you're out of my sight?"

David leaned away from her and looked over at him, but he didn't remove his hands from her hips. "Sorry."

Zechs sighed. "Where are you going tonight?"

"He's taking me out to dinner at Le Belle," Kellie replied as she pressed a kiss on David's cheek.

"What's the occasion?" Zechs asked, arching a brow.

"No reason. Just wanted to take her out somewhere nice," David replied a little uncomfortably.

"Mmm," was all Zechs said as he shook his head. "Just don't keep her out too late Maxwell," he said as he went back in the study.

It was David's turn to sigh. He looked back at Kellie. "Well are you ready?"

"Yes," Kellie replied as she laced her fingers with his.

He smiled at her and led her outside to his Jeep. He opened the door for her and helped her in. Words that his father had told him and his brothers when they first started dating echoed in his head, "There is one rule that every guy should follow. You always treat a woman like a lady. Always. But don't forget you also have to treat a lady like a woman as well." At the time, he hadn't much of an idea of what his dad meant at thirteen, but as he got older, he came to realized what his dad was trying to put across to him and his brothers. He got into the seat next to her and leaned across, capturing her lips with his in a passion filled kiss. "I was waiting to do that since I saw you," he said as he leaned away.

"I can tell," Kellie smirked as they pulled out of the driveway.

******************************************************************************

David had reserved a table out on the terrace. He was unaccountably nervous. His palms were slightly sweaty as their dessert of crème brulee arrived. "So are you having a nice time Kellie?" he asked as he looked at her from across the table. The candlelight was reflected in her eyes as she looked up at him.

"Yes, I'm having a wonderful time David. It was a wonderful dinner," Kellie replied as she reached her hand across the table for his.

"Well, it's going to get much better," he said softly and a little shakily as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring box. He flipped it open with his thumb as he reached across the table for her hand. He didn't even have to say anything as her eyes went wide with surprise.

"Oh David," she breathed as she looked at the glittering diamond and amethyst ring. She looked back up at him, her eyes shiny with tears.

He moved out of his chair and got on his knee in front of her. His heart was pounding and his hands were shaking slightly as he grasped her hand in his. He swallowed hard. "Will you honor me in becoming my wife Kellie Anne?"

"Oh David," she said again as she looked down at him. She could see his heart in his eyes. She reached up and brushed back a lock of his chocolate colored hair. "Yes, I'll marry you David," she said as she leaned down and pressed a sweet kiss on his lips before wrapping her arms around him. "I love you," she whispered.

"I love you too Kel," David replied, sighing in relief. He leaned away and slipped the sparkling ring onto her finger. It was a perfect fit. He leaned up again and kissed her. He could hear the applause of everyone around him. He smiled as he stood up and faced her. "Do you like the ring?"

"I love the ring. It's beautiful," Kellie said as she looked at it in the candlelight. She stood up as well and threw her arms around his neck. "I love you," she said again.

"And I love you," he said as he breathed in the scent of her lilac perfume. He closed his eyes and continued to hold her tight.

An hour or so later…

The windows of the Jeep were steamed up from the heat two young bodies were generating.

Kellie was straddling David's lap as they made out in the backseat. She was nibbling on his lower lip as his hands cupped her breasts through the soft material of her dress. One strap slid off as her hand gripped his arm. She was breathing hard. "I…love…you…" she said between kisses.

"I…love…you…too," David managed to get out as her hips moved against his. His hands slid from her breasts to her back, slowly unzipping the dress and moving his hands over her trim back.

She moved against him again, feeling his erection pressing between her thighs. It made her want him even more as her hands slid from his shoulders and down his bared chest. The straps of her dress slid all the way down her arms, revealing the sheer white strapless bra she was wearing.

His mouth left hers to trail down her throat, nipping and sucking gently as he deftly unhooked her bra and let it fall to the floor, before his hands slid back to the front. They covered her bared breasts lightly, his index fingers just barely grazing her nipples.

"David," she sighed as her head fell back, allowing him access to more of her throat, "More."

"Mmm," he mumbled against her skin as his tongue found it's way between her breasts.

Kellie slid her hands down even further towards the belt loops of his khakis.

David was almost too involved what he was doing almost didn't realize what she was doing until he felt an obvious tug on the waistband. "Kel, what are you doing?" he said, his voice muffled from between her cleavage.

"What does it feel like?" she said in a husky tone as she slipped her fingers just below his waist.

He stilled slightly. "Kellie?" he asked as he raised his head and looked at her.

"What?"

"We have to stop."

"Why? Don't you like this?"

"Yes, but…"

"There's no "but," she said as she crushed her mouth against his.

His train of thought was clouded as her tongue found his. He rested his hands on her smooth thighs, sliding up and under the skirt. His fingers pressed against the soft flesh of her inner thighs causing her to whimper.

Kellie's hands came up for a moment to cup his face between them while she kissed him. She could feel his fingers moving dangerously close to where she was aching for him to touch. Her hands slid back down his chest to his pants. "Please David, for me," she said breathlessly every time their lips parted. Her hands slid partially under his khakis as his fingers brushed lightly against her. A long drawn out sigh escaped her lips.

David's mouth left hers again as he felt her hands sliding lower. "Kellie?"

"Hmm?"

"Now I really think we should stop?"

"Why?"

"Because if we don't I won't be able to in a minute."

"Then don't."

"Kellie, we have to."

"Please?" she asked as she gave him a long sensuous kiss.

When the kiss ended, he pulled his lips away from hers. He wanted to. How he wanted to, but he wouldn't. "No, Kel," he said gently as he reached up and stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. "It's time I took you home anyway."

Kellie sighed, pressing her forehead against his. "All right," she said as she crawled off of his lap. She searched for her discarded bra on the floor. Once found, she retrieved her handbag from the front and stuffed it inside. She felt his hands on her back as he zipped her up. She fixed herself and climbed back over to the front, curling her legs under her.

David followed after he readjusted his pants and slipped on his shirt. He buttoned it, but he didn't tuck it in. He started the Jeep up. He looked over at her. "Love you Kellie."

She gave him a smile. "Love you too David." She watched the moonlit scenery race past her as he took her home. "Every date ends like this. We get so far and he pulls back. This is driving me nuts!"

He pulled into her driveway, leaning out the window to punch in the code on the gate. He drove up to the mansion and hopped out. He opened the door for her. She was wearing her sweater. He waited as she unlocked the front door. "I'll say good night here," he said softly as he pulled her close.

Kellie cuddled against him, her arms going around his waist. "When do you think we should tell them?"

"Tomorrow at my birthday dinner," he replied as he rubbed his hands up and down her back.

"They'll be shocked," she laughed softly.

He leaned away from her a little, tracing her jaw with his finger. "I'm glad you said yes. I was nervous as hell."

Kellie giggled and stood on her toes to rub her nose against his. "And I consider myself the luckiest girl in the world. And it makes me happy that you asked me. I can't wait to be yours permanently."

David chuckled and gave her a light kiss on the lips. "I love you Kel. Good night," he said whispered as he took a step back from her, their hands still linked.

"I love you too," Kellie said as she looked at her ring shining bright from the moon, "And good night," she said as she stepped inside the door. "Wait until you see what I got for your birthday."

"I'm looking forward to it," he said as their hands finally parted. He walked back to his Jeep and climbed in. He could still see her standing inside the front door. He saw her blow him a kiss, making him grin as he blew the horn of his Jeep and started back down the drive.

******************************************************************************

Kellie sighed and closed the door. She leaned against it, her head rolling back and forth on it.

Veronica came down the steps, dressed in boxers and a tee shirt, carrying a plate still half filled with Oreo cookies and a glass of milk. "You're home," she commented, observing her cousin.

"Yup, I'm home," Kellie replied as she took a step forwards and plucked a cookie from the plate.

Veronica tilted her head to one side. "He turned you down again, didn't he?"

Kellie frowned and said nothing.

"It's written all over your face Kel. You poor thing," Veronica said shaking her head.

"Don't remind me," Kellie groaned as she took another cookie and started up the steps.

Veronica followed her cousin up the steps and down the corridor to her room. "You know, the fact that you're dating a Maxwell, makes this hard to believe."

"What is?" Kellie asked as she went into her room, tossing her bag on the gilt chair.

"That you're not getting laid," Veronica pointed out as she followed her cousin. "You know how many girls they've all nailed?"

Kellie shot her younger cousin a dirty look. "I hope you're only talking about Jonathon and Chris?"

"I am, but only because David is the brother that kisses and doesn't tell," Veronica stated as she sat down in the other chair.

"And you should be so lucky that Jonathon doesn't kiss and tell all the time either," Kellie said pointedly.

Veronica flinched guiltily.

"Thought I didn't know? David told me because he caught you two making out in the library two years ago. And I know it wasn't the eggnog that was making you two do that," Kellie said as she walked into her closet, coming out a minute later in a pair of boxers and one of David's shirts.

"So?"

"So, if your dad ever found out that you made out with your sister's brother in law, who happens to be a little more then three years older then you, he would be pissed. You were seventeen and still underage."

Veronica scowled. "I'm sorry I ever brought that up. But you haven't even had sex with David and you've been with him for over three years."

"Do you have to keep reminding me?" Kellie snapped as she snatched the plate of cookies away and sat down in the opposite chair.

"Sorry, but what exactly is holding him back?" Veronica asked curiously.

"Be damned if I knew," Kellie said as she licked the filling out of the Oreo before popping the rest of it into her mouth.

Veronica sighed and handed her the glass of milk. "I see you're going to need this more then me tonight."

Kellie shot Veronica another dirty look, but took the milk and drew her knees up to her chest. "I think you're probably right."

******************************************************************************

David arrived home, noticing that Donavon's Saab was still parked in front of the rear garage. He closed the garage door silently behind him and went through the back gate to the kitchen door. He pushed it open and closed it behind him with a soft click. He looked towards the family room, where the television was flickering. He went in and saw that Randy and Donavon were curled up on the couch, asleep. He smiled and switched off the power, causing the room to fall into a moonlit darkness. He went back to the kitchen and walked up the back steps. He just opened his door when Jonathon poked his head out. "You're still up?"

"Am I standing here?" Jonathon asked dryly as he leaned against the doorframe.

David rolled his eyes.

"So I see that you and Kellie had a nice time," remarked Jonathon as he nodded towards his brother's untucked and wrinkled shirt.

David shrugged. "We had a nice dinner."

"Never could get anything out of you after a date. You were never any fun," Jonathon grumbled. "Could always tell that you got laid though. And I know for a fact that you haven't been."

"And is there something wrong with that?"

"No. Never said there was. I was making an observation."

"Like you should talk. You could have gotten Leigh pregnant," David hissed.

Jonathon's eyes narrowed. "Don't even think of going there David."

"Fine."

"So what was the special occasion?" Jonathon asked, relaxing some.

"We'll tell everyone tomorrow at my birthday dinner," David said as he loosened the top button of his shirt.

"Oh, so it's that kind of announcement. You asked her to marry you, didn't you?" Jonathon drawled knowingly.

David flushed a little.

"Yup, I'm right," Jonathon said smugly. "You were always the worst liar out of the four of us."

"Yeah, I know, but I want to wait and tell everyone at dinner. So don't go blabbing to mom and dad. Or Randy, Chris, and Victoria," David pleaded.

"Fine, fine, I won't tell anyone that you're engaged," Jonathon sighed. He gave his brother a once over, a smirk curving his lips. "So how good a kisser is she?"

David's face flamed and he lunged at his brother, who closed his door just in time. "Baka!" he growled through it. He could hear his brother's snickers through the door. He grumbled a few more choice words about his older brother as he went back to his room a little down the hall and across. He toed his shoes off by the closet door and then stripped down to his gray boxers. He sighed as he lay back on the full sized bed, propping his head up with his hands. He stared at the ceiling. He loved Kellie with all his heart that's why he didn't sleep with her. He loved her too much. He had been with other girls, but only a few. Kellie was still a virgin and he wanted to make sure it stayed that way. It was very hard, but he was willing to wait. He wanted to be married to her before he made love to her. He removed his hands from behind his head and rolled to his side. "And now she's really going to expect it since she's engaged," he said to himself. He closed his eyes. It was a big day tomorrow.

A/N: I had to write one for David and Kellie since their story is happening at the same time as "Warring Hearts." I hope you enjoyed it! There will be more coming soon! XOXO!
